The drinks I may be able to help with depending on if my bookers card is still valid, I haven't used it in a while!!! If it works I will pick up some crates of soft drinks, coke/diet coke etc, if it doesn't then wonder if any arrser's have on we can use for the day/weekend?

Splendid, thanks PBD. I was hoping to get a Makro card, but as nothing has been forthcoming yet, I think we need a fall-back. Can't have thirsty arrsers!

By the way if anyone notices something I've forgotten, please shout now, rather than at the end of May!!!!

OK I may also be able to bring a gazebo as well, I may be able to borrow one from work, it all depends if they have any functions on that weekend. It may not be 12'6 though, I think its 10' by something, not too sure, but apparently it pop's up and down fairly easily!!!

TPBD.

T shirts would be a fab idea I think. Funnily enough I had a day off and ended up in Weymouth yesterday. Whilst wandering around thinking "how the hell is this shithole going to cope with the olympics" it dawned on me just how many pubs there were. Everyone was hammered on a Friday lunchtime - a perfect place for a veterans weekend!

Thanks PBD. So long as we can get most of our table space in it, and it doesn't encroach onto the stand next door, it will be fine. Will it fit in your car???

TPBD if you want I can sort the soft drinks out we have a MAKRO card, anything else needed in bulk numbers give me a shout we should be able to sort it out. Can anyone still serving sort out a couple of norwegians for tea and coffee for those addicted to the evil leaf and bean?

**Grownup_Rafbrat** · 07-03-2010, 18:45

I have flasks we could take for hot water, but you can get hot drinks from the various cafes along the front.

PBD suggested a mixture of children's juice drinks, water and lemonade if that's OK with folks.

And the gazebo will fit just right. provided she can wangle it.

PBD is going to find out prices, and speak sweetly to her printer friend who provides the iron-on transfers. I have an iron, so between us we can sort t-shirts. We'll try to keep the cost down, but will have to ask volunteers to pay for the shirts, as they would a crawl shirt.

PBD is also going to investigate caps, because if it's a hot day, we'll need them!
